AFG vs BAN: Rivalry Continues in Sharjah
The Asia Cup might be done and dusted, but the cricketing rivalry between Afghanistan and Bangladesh is far from over. The two sides lock horns tonight in the 1st T20I at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, bringing back the same energy and intensity we saw during the group stages last month.
Afghanistan, led by Rashid Khan, are looking to bounce back after missing out on a Super Four spot in the Asia Cup. On the other side, Bangladesh will aim to sharpen their game too, especially after losing the Asia Cup semi-final chance to Pakistan.

What to Expect
Both teams are coming off mixed campaigns in the Asia Cup, so expect them to play fearless cricket. Afghanistan’s spin attack, led by Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman, will be up against Bangladesh’s batting order powered by Towhid Hridoy and Taskin Ahmed’s pace at the death.
With Litton Das ruled out due to injury, Bangladesh will need someone to step up at the top order. For Afghanistan, consistency in batting remains the key.
Sharjah’s short boundaries usually guarantee big-hitting entertainment, so fans could be in for a high-scoring thriller tonight.
